Natalie Portman has given birth to her third child in Paris, marking her first baby with partner Tanguy Destable. The 45-year-old Oscar winner welcomed the newborn last month, joining her two older children from a previous marriage while keeping initial details of the new arrival private.
Actress Natalie Portman has expanded her family. The Oscar-winning star welcomed her third child in Paris last month, according to reporting from entertainment publications. The newborn is her first child with French music producer and musician Tanguy Destable, known professionally as Tepr.
The arrival follows a private pregnancy that Portman first confirmed earlier in the year. While the couple has not issued a public statement or shared the baby’s name, media coverage from Paris captured the family out in the city.
Strolls in Paris and First Sighting of the Newborn
Public confirmation of the birth emerged when photographs surfaced of Portman and Destable walking together through the French capital. In the images captured by photographers, Destable carried the infant in a front baby carrier against his chest while Portman walked alongside him in a casual gown.
The couple has maintained a quiet approach to their personal life since they were first linked in March 2025. Neither Portman nor Destable has announced the sex or the exact birth date of the child on their verified social media accounts, and representatives have not provided additional comment to outlets.
Reflecting on a Miracle and a Calmer Pregnancy
Portman first announced her pregnancy during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, expressing profound appreciation for expanding her family later in life. Growing up with a fertility doctor for a father, the actress noted that she was acutely aware of the difficulties many face when trying to conceive.
“Tanguy and I are very excited, I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”

She also noted that her third pregnancy brought a distinct sense of ease compared to her earlier experiences. Explaining her mindset to reporters, Portman stated she felt calmer and more grateful, noting a clear sense of who she wanted around her and a desire to cherish every moment of what she expects will be her final pregnancy.
A Blended Family Across France and the US
The new baby joins a large, blended family. Portman is already mother to 15-year-old son Aleph and 9-year-old daughter Amalia, whom she shares with her ex-husband, French choreographer and director Benjamin Millepied. Portman and Millepied divorced after separating.
Destable also brings children to the blended household, sharing two sons, Étienne and Vadim, from his previous relationship with French actress Louise Bourgoin. Portman has resided primarily in France since moving away from the United States following her marriage to Millepied.
Counting the Days Until the Arrival
Before the birth, Portman offered followers a rare glimpse into her personal life on Instagram. In late July, she posted a photograph taken by Shelby Duncan showing her cradling her baby bump in a half-open blue button-up shirt.

That milestone arrived just weeks before the reported August birth in Paris, cementing a new chapter for the family as they continue to keep their private life away from heavy public scrutiny.
